[QUOTE="7saiin, post: 8832435, member: 681670"] From the research i did, setting the gain correctly would be safe, it just wont get the full potential of the subwoofer because underpowering wont hurt a thing but a clipping or distorted signal would hurt the subwoofer. it seems that underpowering increases the chance of sending a clipped signal to the sub as people with a underpowered amp usually set the gain wrong by increasing the gain to get more out of the sub but end up sending clipped signal and frying the sub, thats why many are saying underpower amp would kill the sub. (so in conclusion from the research i did, underpowering is fine if the gain is set correctly eliminating clipping & distortion but i wont get the full potential of the sub) [/QUOTE]
